And uses various levels of government to push more income toward the top one percent.<br />The "economic growth and jobs" scam is the biggest lie ever foisted on the American public.<br />And if you think it's not going to continue, just listen to all the politicos running for office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-79578469406253137792016-08-23T06:41:37.182-05:002016-08-23T06:41:37.182-05:00Everyone knows this isn't a small business fri...Everyone knows this isn't a small business friendly town.
